Using the popular Monster Match app, Reuben Thompson and his husband Kyle plan a beach vacation to hook up with Glauruss, an oddly-alluring blue sea dragon, for Reuben’s 51st birthday. Life is going great, until a freak accident shatters Reuben’s world.
Suddenly a widower, Reuben finds himself having to navigate life without his best friend by his side. In a sea of paperwork, questions, and sorrow, he feels overwhelmed and alone, until he re-connects with Glauruss to inform him of Kyle’s death. Glauruss has suffered his own losses, and the two find solace amidst the tides of grief. Together, they share the burden of memories, healing, and moving forward while not forgetting those whom they loved before.
Swimming in Grief is a monster-human romance and part of season 2 of the Monster Match collection. It is a standalone story with its own HEA.
